• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with you that the sentiments that have been shared are for the welfare of the entity that has been renamed. The question we should ask is whether we want to add to the wordings of the document. Hon.

• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: We have done similar amendments before, and we have always provided the caption that the current membership in commissions or authorities will remain in office until their term expires, from which time the new board starts operating. It is a question of whether we need to add to the volume of the document, because that is already taken care of, or whether we want to go with the clause that has already been mentioned by Hon.

• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my remarks at the end of this term.

This is one area that we really need to ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: The people in the industry include the youth, many of whom are unemployed. We know that scrap metals are recycled to produce new metals and other products useful in society.

Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

I have listened to his Report since yesterday. I did rise for an amendment and had to withdraw it after looking at the weight of the recommendations that were coming from the Committee. I wish to thank him and also say that his reporting has been quite substantive. I believe that the spirit he has demonstrated on this Floor will ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: suffering not because of lack of employment, but because of lack of workers who are committed to deliver what we expect from them. It is a disease that is cutting across all sectors beginning from the household level to the drivers, the maids and everybody.
